Despite an influx of work, I finished my first bobbin today. It’s a Blackface and Corriedale wool blend, from the same fiber (1 lb.) as day-before-yesterday’s (and tonight’s!) finished yarn that was spun on spindles. I really like this fiber, and it was a good deal undyed. I’m thinking the next step is to get some acid dyes and experiment a bit.

Meanwhile, I’ve started on some black Icelandic wool. It’s considered a primitive breed and has a dual coat. This is just the outer, but I do have a bag of mixed black and white humbug in the queue. It’s less soft and hairier than most wool used for spinning, and the staple length is something I’m having to get used to.

I also washed my second skein of spindle-spun tonight.
